13.9% increase in conversions for a global power brand.

Following the completion of multiple strategy, design and development projects, we increased Aggreko’s online conversion rate by 13.9%; resulting in millions of pounds worth of business for the global brand and contributing towards their objective of global growth.

The company supply temporary power and temperature control solutions throughout the world. Looking to improve their online presence, they approached us to redesign and build their website – a project which included the delivery of 38 national sites.

We took a comprehensive approach, undertaking in-depth research and facilitating strategy workshops to ensure all sites worked from both a brand and user perspective. The results speak for themselves; an increase in conversions of over 13% and a decrease in bounce rate.

Aggreko

Overview

The Brief

Aggreko wanted to refresh their website to reflect the brand’s ethos as an approachable and friendly company, serving local communities whilst retaining their global corporate identity. The key objective was to improve user experience and engage customers, leading to increased lead generation. A secondary goal was to improve customer satisfaction, drive brand loyalty and encourage engagement.

Our Approach

To meet Aggreko’s needs, we implemented a comprehensive approach covering in-depth research and strategy, user experience design and technical development. This included a global survey where we undertook telephone interviews with customers, staff and key stakeholders. We also carried out a content audit and a digital marketing review to ensure the sites could fulfill their role within Aggreko’s wider marketing mix.

A key, innovative feature, was the development of an intelligent online calculator which customers and engineers could use to calculate their power requirements. This, and various other tools, ensured customers could use Aggreko’s site to get key information before making their enquiry. Such tools helped us to improve user experience whilst increasing enquiries and conversions.

The Outcome

By the end of the process, Aggreko had a portfolio of 38 national websites, with a total of 68 different languages between them. Having developed responsive templates which we tested on multiple devices and browsers, all sites were mobile and tablet ready as per the brief. The initial development took place in 2006 and since then we have gone through many upgrade periods.

As we discovered during research and scoping that many areas have less connectivity, we also produced a number of smaller, dedicated mobile sites in areas such as South America and Sub Saharan Africa. This ensured that sales reps in such areas had their own unique solution which worked in areas with low connection speeds.

By integrating all sites with a robust content management system, we ensured Aggreko could quickly and easily update their sites. We also agreed upon a tailored maintenance contract so that we could help Aggreko continuously upgrade and improve their sites on an ongoing basis.
